Basketball Ventures to Buffalo on Saturday -

Buffalo having a year similar to ours (2-11 with wins against CMU and an NAIA school that they beat by 6). Crazy to see how fast they've fallen. Getting another MAC win on the road would be huge.

I was looking at the schedule and noticed the same. This schedule could play in our favor if we can notch some conference road wins as the team starts to jell.

Didn't say we'd be contenders. But it might change my early prediction that this team would be lucky to win 4 or 5 MAC games.

Coach was delighted to have both Miami & Buffalo long road trips fall during Christmas break.

Buffalo's probably worse than us if possible. We would beat Miami then lose to Buffalo

We are raining down an intense bombardment of missed 3’s.

JB not getting a lot of minutes but making them count!

Crump going to make this FT. BAM

He completely changes the ceiling of this team. He gets triple teamed every time he gets the ball. Opens the court for the other guys. I hope he stays, we've got some potential to be really good over the next 2-3 years if he stays!

Heck of a way to end the first half. Nice run. Held UB scoreless for over 7 minutes.

UB hits a three at the buzzer. 34 - 32 WMU at half.

Up by 6 with about 13 minutes left in the game. If you've checked out because of how terrible we were at the start of the season I encourage you to give it another chance. JB changes the game!

Couple good defensive sets for our broncos!

First win at buffalo since 2010! End a 10 game losing streak against UB as well. Won our first 2 MAC games on the road for the first time since 2005.

Good win! Didn't like how we tried to eat the clock at the end instead of attacking but I'll take the W.

Good to see another MAC road win.

For the first time in years the opposition must defend WMU on the inside.
Significant game changing

Broncos now get NIU & Ohio at home next week

Opening up the perimeter as defense collapse on big men. B Artis, Hubbard, and others have been stepping up knocking down three pointers.

I had to miss this game, but would have liked to watch, thought we could win & did. I'll have to watch the next one! Go Broncos!

Been a long time since we could look at MAC Standings and see "Western Michigan" at the top.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
